Poppy Field, Near Henley, England

An 8x10" Poppy Field, in oil, of a lovely field near Henley-on-Thames. My wife and I were in Henley several years back and I started a series of images from a field not far from the famous Henley Regatta on the Thames. Recently I was back in England, and spent sometime in Exmoor National Forest. The landscape there inspired me to get back to this painting, and it was recently finished in the studio. ( SOLD )
